    Another agreed.

    I mean some of the stuff bugs me, but really I don't care about accurate topography.

    The stuff that gets to me more is weird writing. Like Herschel going from the most congenial old fella/veterinarian there ever was to being cold, over-protective and wanting everyone gone in a flash to being fatherly to Rick again on the view scene.

    In general I feel like Rick's character has become pretty lame. If he wasn't nicer than Shane it would make zero sense that he is accepted as the leader of this group.

    Daryl is the best part of the show. I hope Merle comes back. The dialogue between him and Daryl was some of the best dialogue we've had in this series.

    Oh, and I am sick to death of the search for this little girl.

    The dynamic between Rich and Shane is getting really lame. Add to the fact that, each scene that precedes or follows them has to have the w**** wife show up.

    How Daryl falls off the horse is freaking laughable.

    Andrea needs to be thrown into the pit of Zombies.

    Sometimes while watching this show, I wish a pack of zombies would come and just kill them all.

    yea, i'm not to picky, my main complaint has been the dialogue. but meh, keep with the cool effects, and some twists here and there. i'm digging it. like how last nights show ended, with the barn full of zombies...intrigued.

    So you're thinking that Herschel has infected friends and relatives contained in the barn while they wait for a cure? Seems to make sense. Also a reason not to have guns on the property, since a loud shot might cause the infected to make noise and draw attention to the barn (although that doesn't totally jive with Andrea taking at a shot at Daryl).

    I lol'd! He threw his leg over the horses head, like a dismount!


    With the old man right behind her, talk about pointless characters!

    I concur, for a zombie show there's an obious lack of zombies.

    I think the gun ban is more to protect his infected loved ones that he hopes to cure.

    Glen did get them riled up though....the barn door buckling in that last frame showed that. From the snippet of the 'scenes from next week' with the girl pushing the wheelbarrow towards the barn, I'm thinking they feed the zombies on a regular basis. No food when a human shows up = mad zombies!

    Well yeah, I figure that goes without saying. First reaction for one of Rick's group finding those zombies would be murder death kill.

    Zombie friends and family plan in the barn. Big deal. I'm still bored the last few episodes.

    I bet the Zombies don't even break out next episode. They will just ride that plot for at least 3 more episodes :rolleyes:. I hope Andrea and the old man die in the next episode.

    I've got no problem with the old man, but Andrea is weak.

    The episode could have been pure gold if after Andrea shot Daryl and we found out he was alright the old man got real stern with Andrea and said "next time I tell you to help do the laundry, do the damn laundry!"

    5 episodes and still no Sophia. 5 episodes and the best character development so far has been between the hillbilly and his own imagination.

    It's weird, during these episodes I'd get annoyed with how slow everything feels, but once the episode is done I usually think "Wow, that's an hour already?"

    If you're going to have an annoying, dumb b**** character in Andrea at least hire an attractive actress to make her tolerable.

    Hey, topography is an important part of my job so I may be more sensitive to it than most. Regardless, it is stupid that they have these contrived landscapes that conveniently allow for plot twists by bad writers... and you have to admit that the snake scene was ridiculous when John Ford was doing it. (So far, this is essentially a western... homesteaders trying to find the promised land while being vastly outnumbered and assaulted by bands of outlaws/indians/corrupt cattlemen/zombies as they make their way across the prairie and being forced to trust people that may not be trustworthy.)

    correct me if I'm wrong. the "sickness" means that they have been bitten, scratched, or killed by a zombie, died themselves from the "fever" and reanimated as an undead rotting, flesh eating corpse, otherwise known as a zombie, lurker, walker, whatever.

    Jim from season 1 comes to mind. he was left behind to die and reanimate as a zombie, expectedly.

    same thing goes for Amy- she was bitten, she died, she reanimated as a zombie.

    how does anyone expect there to be a cure to bring someone back from the dead.. back from the dead again?

    you would think the only cure in a world like that would be an antidote from becoming a zombie after you have been bitten.

    Yes, but rich person after rich person is idiotic enough to think that cryogenic freezing is gonna work, despite the death thing. Necrotic tissue doesn't revive. Teddy Ballgame ain't coming back; neither are the zombies.

    But, given the stress of the situation, I can buy someone having that particular mental schism, and thinking they can find a cure.

    What I can't buy is a 17-year-old country boy (who appeared out of nowhere this episode, yes?) who has never before learned to fire a rifle. Come on!

    Andrea flashing the **** eating grin again after shooting Daryl. Acting like she's hot stuff. I really hope the writers don't try to redeem her. She sucks.

    How did old man Herschel, Otis and the 17 year old farm boy round up a herd of zombies into the barn? No way they could pull that off.
